Hi guys.
Anyone know what the widest is I can go with the rear GTS rims on a panelvan? I was thinking maybe 8 inches? Dont want them to hit the arch though.
Also if I do widen the wheels will the dress rims still fit on?
Cheers.

8" will fit, but make sure the offset is right.

Thanx Byron.
Will the dress rims still fit on the wheel or would they look a bit stupid?

They'll look cool. I love the look of widened steelies & dress rims. Hey can anyone recommend someone in Brissie or Caboolture to do the same for mine?

Persoanlly I'd get them made as 15x8 rear and 15x7 front. Gives you a much better choice of tyres, like 225/50/15 fronts and 255/50/15 rear or something like that.

If they are genuine GTS wheels I would leave them and get 15 inch pontiac rally rims and butcher them.

I agree, but you do find heaps of GTS rims with buggered edges or they are bent so they become perfect candidates for widening.
Speedy Californians look just like GTS rims too when you paint the centres, leaving the rim itself chrome.
